Abstract

Locking lances (12) for retaining and locking terminal fittings (60) are deflectably provided at inner walls of cavities (11) of a housing (10). The housing (10) includes excessive deflection regulating pieces (13) each provided at a position facing the locking lance (12) in a deflecting direction of the locking lance (12) and configured to regulate excessive deflection of the locking lance (12). Locking lances (12) are provided side by side in a width direction perpendicular to an inserting direction of the terminal fittings (60). A plurality of the excessive deflection regulating pieces (13) are provided side by side in the width direction at positions corresponding to the locking lances (12) and have also a function of positioning an inspection tool (70) for inspecting an inserted state of the terminal fittings (60).

Description

BACKGROUND

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The invention relates to a connector and an inspection tool therefor.

[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] U.S. Pat. No. 6,302,735 discloses a connector with a housing that has cavities, and a deflectable locking lance projects forward at an inner wall of each cavity. A terminal fitting is inserted into each cavity from behind, and the properly inserted terminal fitting is retained and locked by the locking lance.

[0005] The cavities and the locking lances are provided side by side in a width direction that is perpendicular to an inserting direction of the terminal fittings into each cavity. A detection piece of a retainer is inserted into a deflection space for each locking lance in the housing and is provided with an excessive deflection regulating portion. If the terminal fitting is left incompletely inserted, a tip part of the locking lance contacts the excessive deflection preventing portion when the retainer is inserted. In t...
